First Look at the Cadillac VISTIQ & Tesla Begins Delivering First Cybertrucks | MotorWeek Motor News
The closing weeks of 2023 saw some important news for the ‘24 model year and beyond. Like our first look of the #Cadillac VISTIQ…This three-row luxury SUV joins Cadillac’s other EV models, slotting between the LYRIQ and ESCALADE IQ. Expect more details soon.
Also in EV news; Fiat says the redesigned 500e mini is returning to the states with up to 149 miles of range, much better than its predecessor’s 84 miles. The new 500e uses a 42 kilowatt-hour battery and a single motor for a modest 118 horsepower.
We also have more details on Porsche’s #MacanEV, the brand’s second all-electric. It will launch with two models, including a high performer with 603 horsepower. We expect a full reveal soon.
Hyundai has announced pricing for the 2024 Kona Electric, dropping it to $34,010. Indeed, that’s about $900 less than the 2023 model. With a larger battery, the midrange SEL starts at $38,000, while the range-topping Limited starts at just over $42,000. Range is up to 261 miles. The new Kona Electric is sliding into dealerships now.
And speaking of hauling, #Tesla celebrated the holidays by finally delivering its #Cybertruck to customers. A total of 12 to start! But, Cybertruck output will ramp up as the new year goes along. All-wheel drive models start near $80,000, with about $100,000 for the top dog Cyberbeast! A rear-wheel drive truck will launch later for around $60,000.
The entry all-wheel drive model is rated at 340 miles of range and 600 horsepower; the Cyberbeast kicks it up to 845 horsepower.
And that does it for this week’s Motor News!
